1. Text Contests
   During the contest times listed above, listeners may be encouraged through a contest solicit to text in the keyword “CASH” announced at that time to 1-909-798-5600. That keyword would be in conjunction with hearing the song “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey.

1. If “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey plays outside of weekdays 5am-6:59pm or plays within a commercial break or as a part of promoting the contest in anyway, no contest is triggered.  That is, no texts will be accepted.  No cash of any kind will be awarded.  The contest portion is only valid when two elements are met at the same time:  (1.) A contest solicit to text using the keyword “CASH” and (2.) The song “All I Want for Christmas” by Mariah Carey plays in it’s entirety.

1. The contest period consists of the solicit at the prescribed range of times and the collection of texts during that time period, which is 5 minutes.  That is, upon hearing the keyword “CASH” for that particular contest time, the contestants have only 5 minutes to text the keyword “CASH” to 1-909-798-5600 in order to be considered for the random drawing for that specific contest time.  Each contest entry is separate.  No entries are held over or considered during any other contest times that day or during any contest day.  Contestants must enter each contest separately with the correct keyword “CASH”.

1. For “Text Contests”, a random drawing from all those listeners who texted in the correct “keyword” (after the 5 minute period described in “b.”) will become a potential qualifier or winner depending on the specific contest at that time.

1. Upon choosing a random contestant (from c.), KOLA will call that random potential qualifier or winner through the phone number provided (originated from the phone via text).  If that person does not answer their phone by the third ring, another random drawing will be held.  This process continues until a potential qualifier or winner (through random drawing) answers their phone and completes the process to become a “contestant”.

1. Upon meeting requirements of age or previous qualifier or winner status, this random contestant will have the opportunity to be a part of one or more of the elements described below:

   1. Win the stated prize immediately
   2. Win the stated qualifying prize immediately
   3. Win a spot as a qualifier in a future Grand Prize Drawing
